Megadeth: Listen To The New Song 'Headcrusher' Right Now

A brand new Megadeth track entitled "Headcrusher" is available for listening by calling Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine's number (866.597.6342) at TheLiveLine, a service he launched that enables musicians to connect to their audience over the phone.

"Headcrusher" comes off Megadeth's twelfth studio album, "Endgame", which is tentatively due in September through Roadrunner Records. The CD was recorded at the band's brand new, self-built studio in San Marcos, California Vic's Garage which was named after the legendary and iconic Vic Rattlehead character.
"Endgame" was helmed by Mustaine and acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap (Exodus, Nevermore, Arch Enemy, Machine Head). Sneap also manned the boards for 2007's "United Abominations". Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Headcrusher", "1,320", "How The Story Ends" and "This Day We Fight!"
According to a press release, "Endgame" "boasts the technicality, ferocity and snarl that's synonymous with Megadeth and Mustaine. It's a violent masterwork that represents Mustaine's best work in nearly two decades. In a musical world dominated by bands that make generic, blanket statements, 'Endgame' finds Mustaine, once again, making informed and substantial lyrical declarations about the state of the world we live in."
Commented Mustaine: "Thematically, I've never been known to be a silent bystander in a world that needs our participation. As more is revealed about our former President's legacy, a little-known yet staggeringly frightening document which was signed into law, named 'Endgame', has been uncovered. The album 'Endgame' is the most energetic music offering I have penned in over a decade and is far more believable than knowing someone signed 'Endgame' the document into law. The album is also the perfect 'ass-kicking' music to listen to once you are done reading the aforementioned document!"
In short, it's the Megadeth record that fans of classics like "So FarSo GoodSo What?" and "Rust In Peace" have been chomping at the bit for.
"This new album is my proudest moment since the famous (or infamous) 'Rust in Peace' album," Mustaine added. "With this album, I am also very excited to be introducing my new lead guitarist, Chris Broderick, to the world. I have always felt lucky to have had top shredders in that position, but after touring with Chris in support of my last album, I couldn't wait to get into the studio and see what he could do."
Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

I called from my cell, so that means i get charged minutes. Song is pretty sweet though, I'm pumped for this album.
ps i heard from some friends (theyre probably yankin my chain) but they said that megadeth is supposedly touring with metallica. I doubt this, any one else hear this?

I should preface this by saying that I love Megadeth's music and will almost certainly buy the new album.
BUT, let me get these facts straight. Douche Mustaine, who publicly and openly supported and voted for George W. Bush in 2004, has in 2009 released a record combatting martial law provisions in the 2001 PATRIOT Act, which the informed citizenry has been screaming about since at least 2002?
With tirelessly vigilant advocates like Mustaine, who needs a tyrant?
Stick to the riffing, Dave; you are the best at that. But maybe outsource the intellectual heavy lifting.

he OPENLY said the single reason he voted for Bush was because it was either Bush or Kerry, and Bush was the lesser of two evils. Dave has always said he awaits the day that Al Gore decides to run again so he can vote for him, and I perfectly understand that.

This album will be the best metal album in years. Thank god someone will finally put out a real Metal album. Leave it to Megadeth, Slayer, and Sabbath. After all these years, only the true and forever lessening few heavy metal bands remain.

its not true. Megadeth said they would be touring with one of the bands theyve been having a feud with for many years. But that band turned out to be Slayer. Theyre playing four shows in Canadian Carnage.

telephone + music = crap
The song sounded pretty sweet from what I could make out. I hope I don't get a bunch of crap text messages from that company now. Also, Dave anwered the phone and he said James and Lars are posers. He said he doesn't hold anything againgst Kirk, though.

Do you understand the concept of "not voting"?

Valid points, all. I'm just saying Dave's track record as a "luminary" is a little tarnished by the fact that the evils he now decries were *already* on the record in '04 when he tossed a vote at King George. Maybe he'll do a solo album called, "Hoodwinked."

Do you understand the concept of "not voting means no complaining when you don't like a president's choices"?
If he didn't vote, then Kerry got in and did something he was totally against, it would look hypocritical. Seeing as he did prefer one to the other, as opposed to them being equal, then his political views needed to be casted in a vote.
